Sick of annoying buffering

Q: I use Roku and Spectrum. When I watch TV, my shows buffer several times. I switch to another show and there is no buffering. Could you explain why, and how I can fix it?

A: Buffering and a poor connection starts with your router. If you have a larger home or lots of connected devices, you need more than a regular router can provide. That's why I love eero. Unlike a traditional router, eero blankets your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi. This eliminates poor coverage, dead spots and buffering. Get a consistent, strong signal wherever you need it. Plus, it really is easy to install.

Help me protect my home

Q: Iâve thought about getting a home security system for years, and a break-in in my neighborhood is the push I needed to finally do it. What do you recommend?

A: When youâre looking for a security system, you need one you can trust to protect you â no matter what. Iâve researched all the options, and I trust SimpliSafe to keep me and my family safe. SimpliSafe monitors 24/7 and it won't fail if the power goes down, the Wi-Fi is out or intruders smash your keypad.

Donât just take my word for it, try it yourself. Go to SimpliSafeKim.com to get free shipping, free returns and a 60-day, money-back guarantee.

How do I choose the right tech?

Q: I own a business and I'm basically the CEO, CMO, COO and, of course, IT. We need to make some computer upgrades but Iâm worried about wasting money on the wrong machines. Help!

A: I get it. Running your own company is stressful, and it can be overwhelming to figure it all out on your own. That's why you need trusted resources you know will steer you in the right direction. No matter your business needs, Dell can help. Reach out to Dell's Small Business Technology Advisors for a free one-on-one consultation.
